Description

Nestled in a charming setting, this restaurant impresses with its beautifully decorated interior and friendly staff, though it faces criticism for uncomfortably high temperatures. While service can be slow during busy times, the quality of food varies. The okonomiyaki and tuna tataki stand out as highlights, while the ramen, chicken skewers, and fried dishes leave something to be desired. However, the extensive vegetarian options and accommodating staff add to the appeal. With delightful drinks like chu-hi and a welcoming ambiance, many patrons express eagerness to return, hoping to explore more of the menu and enjoy the atmosphere.

I’ve been here multiple times and absolutely love the food and atmosphere! I’m vegan and I always get the veggie gyoza and inari rolls, they’re delicious. I’ve also tried their ramen and they were very accommodating to make it vegan! Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a new restaurant to try out or something to do with friends! You won’t be disappointed :)Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan and vegetarian options.

They have a great variety of drinks and I was pleasantly surprised to find an assortment of umeshu on the menu at such reasonable prices. The ambiance is unique, adorned with plenty of anime and pop culture decor to enjoy while waiting for your food, and the staff provide exceptional, friendly service without being intrusive. My friends and I have been coming here since 2020 (our first visit was takeout) and each time, I’ve left thoroughly impressed!

What a fun spot! My son is visiting from Taiwan and we'd been wanting to try this little Izakaya for a while now as we'd been to some in Taiwan and were curious to how it would compare. The decor is colourful and eclectic, the staff super nice and friendly and the food is amazing! I had been craving Ramen so ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen. The Chasu pork in the ramen bowl was perfect as were the soft boiled eggs. I could have done with a bit more heat. Hubby and son ordered a bunch of small dishes to share. Kaki Fry (Tempura Oysters with a Tonkatsu dipping sauce), Green onion and bacon skewers, Beef skewers, Pork Dumplings, Takoyaki (Octopus, Bonito flakes, Tonkatsu sauce, Mayo). The whole experience was a positive one and we'll totally be returning. A really fun and delicious place!

The ramen was delicious, the gyozas were my favourite, but nothing can compare to the vibes. Absolutely sweet staff, attentive and polite. The place is decorated so well. My sister and I made a game to try and find characters we knew on the walls. Definitely a go-to spotVegetarian options: Vegan sister was happy with her options. Enjoyed it!

Honestly I would rate this higher than a 5/5 if I could. Delicious food for a very affordable price. The quality is amazing and the staff were so lovely. Not a massive space inside, But amazing atmosphere. Definitely will be returning!
